Val, Abby and I joined the band of volunteers of the Friends of Nore Barn Woods to continue maintaining its paths.

Val worked with the group laying a wooden log path through the muddier patches, whereas Abby and I tackled the nettles and brambles to widen other overgrown paths.

As always, plenty of progress was made, lots of banter and putting the world to right and new friendships forged. And an Emsworth lunch to sustain us afterwards.
